C. December, 1949 To the Editors, AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL: The sensational discussion of recent months about unify¬ ing the armed services seems to have been more puzzling to the general public than it could have been to readers of the FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL.

D C j giving effect to a national decision. The decision represented by the Act of 1924 settled two overriding questions that had engaged attention at least since an Act of 1855 governing the diplomatic and consular serv¬ ices. The questions were whether the national interest re¬ quired specially trained people to conduct our foreign rela¬ tions, and, if so, whether it would be better served by profes¬ sional officers in separate diplomatic and consular branches than by a single Foreign Service, closely tied in with the Department. The Congress answered both questions when, through the Rogers Act, it set up the Foreign Service as a single agency of the Government. War Years Bring New Problem Now there is said to be fear among officers of the Foreign Service that the stresses of the war years and of the current period of international tension which have been put forward to justify, or even require, the injection of new blood, call for getting it by exceptional procedures with resulting detri¬ ment to morale and efficiency in the Service, at least while the injection is being given. Such fear centers plainly upon the issue of recruitment for the Foreign Service. On July 31, 1944, there were 811 Foreign Service Officers on active duty, of whom the great majority had entered the service through a system of recruitment comprising search¬ ing written and oral examinations. On the same date 415 officers of the war-recruited Foreign Service Auxiliary, an emergency group chosen by exceptional methods, were also on active duty. By July 1, 1949, the number of active Foreign Service Officers had risen to 1290. Of these, 159 had been appointed under the so-called Manpower Act of 1946. Another group of 84 had been appointed otherwise than by having passed Fine Blended Whiskey.90.5 proof. 60* grain neutral spirits. Frankfort Distillers Corp..N.Y.C.

After valiant service in Vietnam and after saving the lives of countless Ma- rines, the New Jersey was decommissioned in 1969. During that solemn ceremony, her last commanding officer, Captain Robert Peniston, spoke prophetically when he suggested that this mighty ship, “Rest well, yet sleep lightly; and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide fire power for freedom.” Well, the call has been sounded. America needs the bat- tleship once again to provide firepower for the defense of freedom and, above all, to maintain the peace. She will truly fulfill her mission if her firepower never has to be used. Captain Fogarty, I hereby place the United States Ship New Jersey in commission.

  • Eleanor Roosevelt's Traveling Suitcase
    Eleanor Roosevelt’s Traveling Suitcase Unit VII - Eleanor Roosevelt and the UDHR Lesson 1: “Where Do Human Rights Begin? In Small Places Close to Home.” “Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home, so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site Unit VII, Lesson 1 Title of the lesson: “Where Do Human Rights Begin? In Small Places Close to Home.” Lesson grade levels: Subject area P-3 x 9-12 Social studies 4-6 Higher education x 7-8 Social justice issues: x Civil rights Housing Democracy x Human rights Education x Living wage x Environment/going green Immigration/migrant workers x Fair labor practices x Poverty x Health Other Time requirement: 120 minutes Objectives of the lesson: Students will know the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt and her work with social justice is- sues.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.
